Just What the Doctor Ordered


A full lineup of Orioles and some fresh new blood

The Sox clobbered the Orioles 18-10 behind new-guy Victor Martinez. Martinez went 5-6 with 5RBI. This was no pitcher's duel

BOS (62-42) 4 2 1 7 0 2 0 1 1 18 23 0
BAL (44-60) 0 0 6 0 1 2 1 0 0 10 15 1

Buchholz 4.0IP 9H 7ER 3K
Delcarmen 1.2IP 1H 2ER 1K
R. Ramirez 1.1IP 4H 1 ER 1K
T. Saito 1.oIP 1H 0ER

Stuff you need to know:
Josh Reddick and Rocco Baldelli homered for the Sox. J.D. (Nancy) Drew left the game in the first with the same nagging groin injury. Mike Lowell has an 11-game hitting streak going (until I post this on the blog...my bad...)

The Globe game report with some Victor Martinez tidbits.
The Herald game report.

3 Strikes:
  • The Globe says that the Sox fired two clubhouse security guys because they were found with steroids. Let's just say there's a lot of innuendo surrounding Papi and Manny in this piece. Jerry Remy's son, Jared, is accused of dealing the roids. I didn't believe it until I saw his picture. My god I got to get me some of those!


  • SportsByBrooks breaks down Jose "The Punching Bag" Canseco's latest claims about steroids in baseball. Hell, the guy's been right before. Could it be Cal Ripken? (stats)

Stayed tuned for more from MikeandJeremy later on today.
